Application filed February 16, 1915. Serial No. aeee.

To aZZ whom/2'1 may concern:

Be it known that l, Fonnron J. OROUTT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, haveinvented new and useful linot which the following is a specification.

The present invention has for its object the provision of a pipe hangerextremely simple in construction, and one which can be quickly securedto a suitable support without the use of nails or the like.

. right angles to the loop portion Another important object of theinvention resides in the provision. of a device of this characterconstructed from a single length of material, capable of adjustment toaccommodate difierent size pipes. I

In the drawing forming part of this application like numerals ofreference indicate similar parts in the several views and in whichFigure l is a,perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is an elevation.Fig. 3 is a similar view or the device in adjusted position. Fig. l isan enlarged detail sectional view of one of the limbs of the device,

The device forming the subject matter of my invention is constructedfrom a single length of material, preferably fiat resilient metal. Themetal is bent to provide an intermediate loop portion 5 for thereception of the pipe 6, the terminals of the loop at their pointofjuncture with the leg extensions 7 being twisted as at 8, whereby thelegs 7 are disposed in spaced parallel and at 5. Eachof the legs 7 atspaced superimposed points are cut to provide V-shaped prongs 9projecting rearwardly therefrom and at right angles thereto. 7 Theprongs are adapted to be driven into a suitable support 10, and toeffectively retain the same therein under the weight of the pipe, eachof said prongs are stamped to provide a centrally disposed V- shaped lug11 which embeds itself in the support when the prongs are driventherein.

The leg extensions 7 are disposed approxi mately in contactingengagement in normal position, but by reason of the resiliency of thedevice, the legs can be spread with a view of enlarging the loop 5 toaccommodate pipes of varying diameter as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

It is believed that from the foregoing description the nature andadvantages of the invention will be thoroughly understood withoutrequiring a more extended explanationan'd therefore the same has beenomitted. However I do not limit myself to the precise constructionillustrated, as various changes may be resorted to when desired as fallwithin the scope of the appended claim.

What is claimed is As a new article of manufacture, a pipe hangerconstructed from a fiat single length of material, including a pair ofrelatively movable limbs and an intermediate loop connecting said limbsand disposed at a right angle thereto, a longitudinal series ofattaching supports stamped from each of said limbs and projecting in acommon direction from one face thereof, and a substantially \I-shapedlug depending centrally from each prong for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I aftix my: signature in presence of two witnesses.
